  "account": "Veteran quarterback Zach Collaros will suit up for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Saturday's East Division final, the team announced on social media just prior to the game. Collaros had been Winnipeg's top-ranked quarterback, but he was sidelined due to a rib injury late in the season, making him a game-time decision. Dru Brown initially took his place, starting for the team in their East semifinal victory over Toronto. Collaros was expected to be the \"starting quarterback\" at a pre-game press conference, but Brown joined him there instead. The 38-year-old American sustained his injury during Winnipeg's 34-10 win over the B.C. Lions on October 23 and has had limited practice time since. On Wednesday, Collaros participated in a restricted practice before missing Thursday's session due to what he called a \"maintenance kind of thing.\"",
